Eliot
Description
'To read 'Eliot' is to discover the poet - on a personal and poetic level. The play is metaphorical in its juxtaposition of the conscious and the unconscious as different parts of the 'stage.' It is highly entertaining in its use of Eliot's own poetry, partly as dialogue and partly in song. It is colorful and exciting in its portrayal of the various characters that plagued Eliot's real and imaginary worlds. The audience will walk out of the play with a better appreciation of Eliot's work, as well as the emotional carousel of his life.'-Leslie Cohen 'Now Eliot is not merely a distant memory of 'required reading, ' but someone of astounding dimension and complexity. We are both privileged and embarrassed to peer into the very soul of Eliot. As Eliot, the man, struggles to find his way through the paradox of opposites, we are increasingly drawn into a drama that ultimately leads us to a recognition of ourselves. And in that process, Eliot cannot help but to become our friend.'
